This
morning I had hall guard from 4:00 AM to 6:00 AM, so I was unable to go
to morning PT. I had it with PVT Privately (an old 3rd platoon
terminator who is a pretty cool guy). I was happy to get out of PT, but I
was all mentally prepared for it. The duty schedule was changed since I
last looked at it, so I thought I had it in a couple of days...not this
morning. The good thing about this time slot was that we were able to
head to breakfast before the rush of people getting done with PT. We had
no line and it was easy to find a seat.
Speaking
of chow let me tell you that the eating at the DFAC here at Ft. Gordon
is much better than the one at Ft. Benning. The quality of food is
better and they have a bit more of a variety. They have a salad, soup,
and a sandwich bar. My favorite is that they also have a soft serve ice
cream machine. They switch out the flavors daily. I want to just open my
mouth and let the ice cream flow in, but I limit myself to one cone a
day at lunch time.
After
lunch we came back and found out that our barracks were closed because
there were inspections going on. This sucked because it's freaking hot
here in Georgia! It's even more hot when you have on ACUs and have to
stay outside where there is no A/C. We had to wait until formation for
classes again before we could get out of the sun. By the time we got in
class I think everyone could have used a towel just to dry the sweat off
that was pouring out of everyone.
Overheard Quote: "I'm
sweating like a slave with a secret" (PVT Privately - a black man -
stated this as we were marching back to our classroom...I had to agree)
